dark humor

The cynical Coen brothers satirized all the characters in the film. Needless to say, the other characters are stupid. The female detective is also an idiot in the eyes of the Coen brothers. Because of being so clever and so capable, after handling a major case, the ultimate destination of a police detective is nothing more than nagging in the arms of an idiot husband. Because of cultural differences, we Chinese people will mistakenly believe that the author is praising the female police detective as the “two leaders inside and outside” for “getting out of the hall and into the kitchen”. In fact, the author is satirizing the female detective. If you want to show how stupid a woman is, you can’t directly describe her as stupid. You have to describe her as smart, and then make her willingly commit herself to a stupid man. She's stupid.

This movie is so humorous, I couldn't laugh many times.

    Looking at it now, the narrative structure and genre variations of "Ice Blood Storm", and even the combination of violence and cold humor, are not new. But the charm of "Ice Blood Storm" will not be outdated is the most detailed description of life around Minnesota, and the super-efficient display of character status (two thieves are silent and the other is funny looking, Jerry and Marge, the lying classmate are mirror images of each other) , And most importantly, left Marge, the image of a justice policewoman who has the cordial vigor and lovely accent unique to small town people, and has never appeared in the dark or shadow scenes. After receiving news of the murder, Marge walked out of the house. Her husband naturally brought her unfinished breakfast. Marge turned back and said, "My dear, the police car wants you to start it for me." This is (currently) one of my favorite shots from the Coen brothers.
